After 3 Years Novak Djokovic And Boris Becker Have Split
It’s over for the Novak Djokovic-Boris Becker coaching relationship, Djokovic announced today on Facebook.
“After three very successful years, Boris Becker and I have jointly decided to end our cooperation,” Djokovic posted. “The goals we set when we started working together have been completely fulfilled, and I want to thank him for the cooperation, teamwork, dedication and commitment. On the other hand, my professional plans are now directed primarily to maintain a good level of play, and also to make a good schedule and new goals for the next season. In this regard I will make all future decisions.”
Djokovic hired Becker three years ago and after a slow start under the German, Djokovic won six Grand Slams and a total of 25 titles. He also won 90% of his matches, or a 208-23 win-loss record.
But with no firm commitment on the future and the eye-raising addition of “guru” Pepe Imaz, who Becker publicly denounced, the writing seemed to be on the wall that Djokovic and Becker would part.
For the time being, Djokovic will continue under longtime coach Marian Vajda and apparently he’ll keep Imaz. No new coaching announcements were made.
